From the visionaries behind Sydney faves, Franca and Armorica, Catalan-inspired venue, Parlar has reopened its doors in Potts Point. After a period of rejuvenation and skill refinement in Spain, this treasured venue is returning with a refreshed vision, sure to capture the hearts of Potts Pointers and visitors alike.
The 55-seater venue promises to deliver world-class Catalan-inspired dining to the heart of the inner-city enclave. Parlar offers a unique fusion of top global cuisines, with a distinctive Catalan flair. Renowned as a Two-Hat restaurant, Parlar transforms restaurant dining into an art museum, blending fine food with artistic elegance. The restaurant’s interior holds owner Andrew Becher’s personal art collection, including exclusive pieces by renowned 70s artist Alexander Calder.
Mr. Becher has expressed his enthusiasm about the relaunch: “Reintroducing Parlar is a truly extraordinary milestone for us. Our commitment is to infuse world-class dining into the heart of Sydney, harmoniously blending the vibrant energy of artistic expression with a rich Catalan culinary experience. We aim to transcend the ordinary by merging exceptional cuisine with a curated art collection that embodies creativity and sophistication. At Parlar, the fusion of outstanding food and distinctive art defines our essence. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to offer an immersive and memorable experience. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you!”

Diners can enjoy drool-worthy dishes like the Loligo squid with chorizo, cannellini beans, tomatoes and smoked almonds alongside hearty offerings such as the aged Berkshire pork loin morcilla. The white chocolate tarta de Santiago with basil cream and strawberry consummé is the perfect end to a meal at Parlar and promises to leave you savouring every last spoonful. “With Spanish cuisine gaining significant recognition in the world’s 50 best restaurants, we are thrilled to reintroduce Sydney to this exceptional style of dining.” Andrew Becher discusses.
